-
- The trouble isn't the floppy support itself. Executor currently supports
- very few installer programs. The way around is to install on a real Mac and
- after copy the installed app to executor. Don't forget the files installed
- in the system folder. With that approch, many things works well under executor.

- If you're so unhappy with Executor, you should accept this offer.

-
- PC's floppy drives are physically unable to read Mac 800k disks (please read
- the FAQ).
-
- The current versions of Executor (for dos only I think) have trouble with
- floppy drive support, since the introduction of the sound support. The way
- around is to launch Executor with the -nosound option for the time you
- install your. Once it's installed, you'll have the choice of the sound or
- floppy support with the same switch.
-
- Please correct me anybody if I'm wrong.
-
- I wish you luck. If you're still unhappy with your purchase, I'm sure ARDI
- won't refuse an refund. You'd only have loose some time - not unusual in
- the PC world.
